It’s one of the nicknames the rapper has gone by — his other monikers include Yeezy and Yeezus — and is the name he gave to his last studio album, which was released in June and became his eighth no. 1 on the Billboard 200.

West announced earlier in September that he was set to release his ninth studio album, Yandhi, at the end of this month.
